Have Garmin GPSmap76S


Recommended Posts

Posted

Our newer computer does not have an 'Extra" serial port to hook up my GPS map 76S for downloads of Geos. Tried unsuccessfully to order From garmin correct cable, no luck. I need a USB cable with the 4 prong end on GPS end. Any luck out there?

It sounds like you need an adaptor that convers USB (pc side) to RS232 (Garmin side). These are generally available at places that sell PDA's. Here in Canada, we can get them at Staples or Office Depot.

If the 4-prong end has a round style connector, then you probably need one of these in addition to what March2003 suggested:

Garmin RS232 Cable

This cable should have come with the GPS though. I use this cable plugged into one similar to what Mach2003 suggested to run my GPSmap76s off my laptop.
